Resources tab overview

5 min read

Resources is where you browse education, research, toolkit tools, and in-app help—not daily logging on Home or charts on Reports. Open Resources from the bottom tab bar, then switch Education, Research, Toolkit, or App inside it.

What you will find under Resources

The screen title is Resources. Below it you see four sub-tabs—Education, Research, Toolkit, and App—in that order, with Education selected the first time you visit. Resources loads the first time you tap it, so the first visit may take a moment; when you leave and return, nested screens reset to this main view.

Open Resources from the main app

01
Resources
Tap Resources in the bottom tab bar—the main tab label, not a sub-tab inside Resources.
02
Resources header
Confirm the screen title reads Resources, the sub-tab row lists Education through App, and Hotline sits on that row.
03
Home
Some Home cards jump straight to Resources and open Education, Research, or App when a prompt points you to learning or help.
In the app

Open Red Tent PMDD to see the live screen walkthrough for this step.

Download the app
✦The preview highlights the Resources main tab in the bottom bar—not the Education, Research, Toolkit, and App row inside Resources.

The four sub-tabs at a glance

  • Education — tap an article card to read it.
  • Research — pick a sort order and open a paper from the list.
  • Toolkit — open Self-Care + Safety Plan or start Breathe or Grounding from the main tiles.
  • App — open a popular question, a Browse by topic tile, or a row in the Red Tent PMDD section on How can we help?

Switch between Education, Research, Toolkit, and App

Tap Education, Research, Toolkit, or App in the row under the Resources title. Education stays selected until you pick another sub-tab.

01
Research
Pull down the paper list to refresh after you change sort.
02
Toolkit
Find your people and Join study appear only when your content bundle includes matching categories.
03
App
The header search bar is hidden on App—use the search field on How can we help? (see Search below).
✦On Research, sort chips read Recommended, Latest, and Most Cited in English even when the rest of the app uses another language.

Search on Education, Research, and Toolkit

01
Search resources...
On Education, Research, or Toolkit, tap the header search field (placeholder Search resources...). Results match the sub-tab you are on.
02
Search help articles
On the App sub-tab the header search bar is hidden. Tap the search field showing Search help articles on How can we help? to open help search.
03
No results
If nothing matches, try different keywords or switch sub-tabs when you were searching the wrong kind of content.

Hotline on the Resources screen

01
Hotline
Tap Hotline on the sub-tab row. It stays in the same place on Education, Research, Toolkit, and App.
02
988
In the United States or Canada, when your device can place a call, the app opens the dialer for 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline).
03
Other regions
Outside US and Canada you may see an in-app message instead of a call—use local emergency or crisis services if you are in immediate danger.
🔒Hotline on Resources is the app's primary crisis dialer path. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services regardless of what the app shows.

Empty or missing content

Education and Research can show empty states when no articles or papers are loaded yet. Toolkit may hide Find your people or Join study if your install lacks matching categories—Breathe, Grounding, and Safety Plan remain on the hero and Interactive tools sections when enabled.

  • Leaving Resources and coming back clears nested navigation—you may need to reopen an article or tool you had opened from a sub-tab.
  • For full bottom-tab navigation (Home through Community), see the main tab bar help; this article focuses on what lives inside Resources.
✦Bookmark papers from Research cards when you want them later. Dedicated help articles cover Education browsing, Toolkit tools (including Safety Plan), and keyword search in more detail.
